Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. These past few days, the child told me that his ears are a bit painful. In the morning, I found that the earwax was purulent, a bit yellow. Also, it seems that he has no appetite and is very weak. I would like to ask: How should otitis media with ear fullness and pain be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating these diseases, you can give children some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Local medication can be used, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops for treatment. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above medication treatments, if the child exhibits severe conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, immediate treatment is necessary. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
